If I were going to use that I would give ~1.5 ml per pound orally once or twice a day.
Any reason this won’t work?? It’s all I could find in liquid at wal mart. They didn’t go for the crushed tablets. At all! If this liquid is okay, now much per hen per day?
Thank you!!!
Thank you!!! Fingers crossed this helps. They do spend a lot of time in the shade in the summer.
So to double check my numbers. If my chickens weight about 6lb 5oz (6.3125 lb) then 1.5 ml x 6.3125 lb would be 9.47. Did I get that right?
Yeah, 8-9 ml is mine. Or you could go get the tablet form and give that instead. *-9 ml is a lot of liquid to give orally if you don't have a lot of experience doing it. Will they eat a mash? You could give it that way too.
You’re right it’s quite a bit, I just mixed it in with yogurt & they were going to town on it when I left. Will try some mash tomorrow morning bc they loved it this morning when I did it.
I always double check mine too.Oh, and double check my math! I calculated that there is 500 mg calcium per 15 ml, which is about 33 mg calcium per ml. The amount of calcium I give is ~45 mg per pound (100 mg/kg is the actual number I use). Anyway, just double check 'cause, I do make errors.
Gosh I hope it’s okay that I left both bowls in there with both hens & one didn’t eat too much of it. They typically don’t do that but they ate it All! It just hit me that might be a bad idea. Oh I hate that feeling! Any potential problems from that if they eat extra one time? That’s why I never do things in a hurry!!
